Nalikitquniejk

Nalikitquniejk lies near Cape George, on the shore facing the Northumberland Strait. West of the cape, Merigomish Harbour was an important Mi'kmaq centre; the district chief Jean-Noël Pectougawach represented its people in the peace of 1761. On the Gulf shore, Highland Scottish families established farms in the 1780s, followed by further arrivals in the 1790s.
